Hike in domestic price of LPG in China

Shandong civil gas has increased the domestic prices of LPG and sharp increase of international crude oil prices gave it a boost to the market. The overall transaction atmosphere was observed as working and the manufacturers have shipped smoothly which will increase the sale price of domestic producers of China. The prices of Butane were also surged due to its application in propane dehydrogenation plant which will be used for heating purpose for upcoming winters. Any increase in the Chinese heating demand would be met by Piped Natural Gas. PetroChina will raise its gas import from Russia via the power of Serbia pipeline at the end of the 2021

LPG is a fuel gas. Liquefied petroleum gas or liquid petroleum gas – LPG – also identified as propane or butane, are flammable hydrocarbon gas mixtures used as fuel in vehicles, as Autogas, and as home heating gases and cooking fuel. LPG heating gases are propane and butane. They are commonly used for generating heat for home heating, cooking and commercial applications, including boilers. China is the major importer of LPG sharing 16% of world’s import trade which majorly imports from Qatar and Australia.

According to Chemanalyst, the demand of LPG will increase due to its wide applications in residential use and will depend on the fluctuation of crude oil price will decide the further price of LPG. In China, the price will expect to grow in the upcoming months. On the other hand, rising environmental consciousness will benefit the use of LPG by providing the better alternate to fossil fuel.
